Tip sources are available.  Try to ask archie.  I am not sure if there
is a way to force tip into 8bit connection (it seems to me that it is).
On rare occasions when I had to use it I was using instead tipx -
tip with a built-in x/y/zmodem protocol.  It required some hacking
to support higher baud rates but it worked pretty well in general.
